What are your favorite subjects to tattoo / what would you like to do more of?
I like a lot of things. portraits, people, animals, the city, nature, rap, it's a big mess in which I dig a little every day.
How did you start tattooing and what drove you to pursuit?
I started quite late, I did paint, graffiti, illustrations, I worked a bit in fashion, and I made my living working with teenagers in the neighborhood. the idea of tattooing came back from one of my exhibitions in new york.
I started out by spending time with my tattoo artist, watching him work. then I started tattooing my close friends, I joined a collective of tattoo artists who came from all over the country, we did weekend tattoos together.
That's how i started in guest in france and in europe, london, berlin, brussels, zurich, lausanne etc .. after two years I decided to devote myself completely to tattooing.
I did what I loved, I traveled, I met different people every day in different cities, with different stories, who wanted my art, who loved my art, that's what motivated me to continue , that and be able to learn again and again and meet other artists.

How can people book a tattoo with you and do you have a (semi) permanent location?
To make an appointment with me, people send me an email telling me about their project, their story or the flash they liked..
Today I share my time between my private studio in PARIS (Epoque Brutale) and my second private studio in the south of France near Valence (Atelier La chambre Bleue).
AND always guests all over the world, so many countries and cultures that I want to discover.

What are 3 small things that make you happy?
The 3 things that make me happy?
My wife, music and making things and sharing them with people all over the world.
Tattooing alongside MArk Mahoney at SSC in Los Angeles, seeing him work and talking to me about my job, I admit that makes me really happy as a kid..
But I also like the smell of coffee when you wake up, watching the sun go down over the sea, I also like walking in the streets of New York without knowing where I'm really going, sitting in museums.

If there is something you could change in the tattoo industry what would it be?
The tattoo industry could be opened even more borders so that we exchange even more between us, maybe the tattoo is a little less "in fashion" and a little more creative.
Is there anything else you like to share?
Thank you to you, see you in Paris or somewhere around the world.
